"How dare you demand facts and analysis to back up your arguments?? Instead, I am going to offer vague assurance about a 'certain affordability threshold' and mock you for it." Imagine, a working class tenant in NYC wondering when life for them will be affordable.

The Beltran strikeout reminds me of how aesthetically pleasing it was to watch baseball games without the K zone and the little dot after every pitch.

Who are good policy and politics sources for Westchester County?
One point made by Columbia professor and writer @LincolnMitchell that makes sense to me is that the president of Columbia called in the police because she is more beholden to alumni and donors than students and faculty. This is increasingly true at most universities.
I still have no idea why protests outdoors on a campus are stopping in-person classes from happening at Columbia University. It's not as if the classrooms are occupied or the buildings are blocked off.
really excellent column on @substack by @RossBarkan on the virtue of free speech, the Palestinian left, and the bizarre happenings at Columbia. rosselliotbarkan.com/p/what-are-the…
Every last 2010s-style woke pathology has now been embraced by the pro-Israel set, and this is most evident in the reaction to the protests at Columbia University. rosselliotbarkan.com/p/what-are-the…
Plenty of anger from the pro-tenant side that this is watered down "good cause" eviction and contains a lot of loopholes, but it's still a significant shift that will benefit renters in NYC, who remain in a precarious position.

My debut novel, INCEL, was recently reviewed by the excellent Ross Barkan in @themarsreview, along with @AdemLuz's excellent Mixtape Hyperborea. Check it out!

Carl Erskine and Ken Holtzman have died. Iconic pitchers in different eras. Holtzman was the great post-Koufax Jewish left hander. Erskine was one of the last living Brooklyn Dodgers, and the very last living star for that team.

@BarryCaro @RossBarkan Sadly, the video doesn't capture the moment quite as well as the taller photo does though.
@RossBarkan I didn't think I would agree with this but then I watched the clip and it is true
what are peoples thoughts on why fiction writers are producing so much less work than in the past, say up into the 80s but moreso w/r/t the writers of the early part of the 20th c. for the most part we dont have major writers who publish 10, 15, 20+ books anymore.
@RossBarkan @LincolnMitchell They can't all be Stony Brook
Tonight, I voted against the National Security Supplemental. This bill includes billions of dollars for Israel to procure offensive military aid. Sending Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government the munitions to destroy Gaza is wrong and inconsistent with our foreign policy goals.

One sign here at the Columbia protest. This man is ranting about Jews controlling the universe. He has a black face mask on.

@maxdubler @RossBarkan But what's that number is what Ross is asking. Seems unknowable with precision, but it would be enormous since housing demand is dynamic: more units would induce more ppl to get their own place, get a larger place, or move to nyc. But someone could try to estimate it
@RossBarkan At risk of getting in the middle of posting meltdown: my understanding is that the studies usually cited by the pro-development crowd mainly show that new supply slows the fast-paced rent increases regionally....but they don't show rents actually going down
Some cheer aid for Ukraine and deplore aid to Israel. Others, the reverse. Structurally, though, the outcome is this: $95 billion to prop up an unsustainable U.S. global primacy, in this case to fund wars for which we and our partners conspicuously lack a sound strategy.
Here are the 58 House members who voted against sending Israel $26 billion more in aid:
New: House votes 366-58 to send Israel $26 billion in aid. 37 Democrats and 21 Republicans voted against the bill.
I do not hate her music but it does absolutely nothing for me. I need more rhythm, more range, more something. I don’t care about her lyrics. I don’t usually care about lyrics in general. She is extremely meh to me.
